Hear what our associates say about developing at Capital Group.
Last year, Capital donated more than US$25 million to 3,000 nonprofits on behalf of our associates. It’s not the numbers that make our giving program impressive – it’s the fact that all our donations are influenced directly by our associates.

I have been working at Capital Group full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
In the midst of crisis, organizations show their true character. And Capital Group has been remarkable in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even as nearly all of the associates (employees) have transitioned to working from home in the last several weeks, we've never lost sight of our clients and investors. And you see examples every day of co-workers bending over backwards to help each other and stay well connected.
The leadership teams across the firm - starting with the Management Committee - have done an outstanding job of first preparing for this crisis and then leading our teams through it. They are thoughtful, empathetic and generous.
Cons
Upward career growth can be challenging and perhaps slower than at other firms, but there's definitely an opportunity to grow outward by broadening experiences and responsibilities.
Advice to Management
Continue to place our clients and our associates first. We've changed a lot over the last decade and perhaps the most valuable change has been our ability and willingness to tap into the collective creativity of our people.

Application
I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Capital Group (Los Angeles, CA).
Interview
I interviewed for two senior level roles and was convinced that they were ready to extend an offer in both cases. I found out later from an insider that both positions went to internal hires with much less experience and no history of performing the job functions of the positions they were seeking to fill. My source also shared that they often interview external candidates for executive positions after having already decided on an internal transfer or promotion. This is simply done to check a box. What an incredible waste of time!
